Wilmer Valderrama loves being a girl dad.
The That ‘70s Show alum—who shares daughter Nakano Oceana Valderrama, 20 months with fiancée Amanda Pacheco—revealed that the toddler is now learning sign language.
"Every day she is learning a new word or way of expression," he shared in an exclusive interview with E! News' Francesca Amiker Oct. 26 as part of Dog Chow's fifth annual "Service Dog Salute" campaign. "And she's learning this sign language because she's making sounds. So, she's got the sign language of saying, ‘mas comidas.' By the way, Spanish is her first language. So, she will say all these things like, ‘mas comidas' and things that are super cute."
Though Wilmer, 42, has been busy filming a new Zorro series for Disney+, he said that nothing beats the moments when he is home spending time with Nakano.
"We are both crazy clowns that as soon as I come to the house, we're screaming, we're running around, we're both dancing, we're both listening to the Encanto soundtrack and she knows how to salsa dance already," he shared with E! News, adding that his daughter has also started dance class.
"She comes home and as soon as she comes home, daddy and daughter dance every night."
While the NCIS star is enjoying life with a toddler, he can't wait to see what the future holds for Nakano.
"It's been very exciting and fun and very humbling to have the responsibility of taking care of this future powerful woman and I'm excited to get it up being a girl dad there's nothing more exciting," he noted. "It's just so fun."
Being a girl dad is not the only thing Wilmer holds dear to his heart. He recently teamed up with Purina Dog Chow for the fifth year of its Service Dog Salute campaign, which highlights the life-changing benefits that service dogs provide to veterans experiencing posttraumatic stress (PTS).
As part of the program, dog lovers selected the winner of the Dog Chow Visible Impact Award out of five finalists who best demonstrated the life-changing impact and skills of a PTS service dog. This year's winner is Ivy, a Great Pyrenees from Arizona, who helps U.S. Army Veteran Todd manage his PTS.
Wilmer told E! News that he partnered with this initiative to show up for our veterans and help them find new purpose and guidance.
